.\ fair is in progress outside the walls of Leyden. Groups of Dutch peasants are mak- 
ing merry among the stalls and booths. A ballad seller passes among the peasants, sing- 
ing. Strolling players and acrobats pass. The whole populace is rejoicing. 

In the midst of the pleasures and confusion of the fair, a solemn chant is heard in the 
distance. John Robinson and his little band of Pilgrim exiles from England appear and 
come forward. With Robinson are John Carver, Edward Winslow and Miles Standish. 
The Dutch peasants make way respectfully for the Pilgrims. The latter kneel in prayer 
a moment and then John Robinson addresses his flock. 

He reminds his followers that they are met to take solemn counsel among themselves. 
It is now twelve years since they came to Holland seeking liberty of conscience and the 
right to worship God in their own way. The truce between Holland and Spain will soon 
expire, and Robinson fears that once more fire and sword will ravage the land, thus im- 
perilling the Pilgrims. He points out that it is not possible to return to England, for 
there they would again meet persecution. Robinson has, therefore, summoned his fol- 
lowers and proclaimed a day of humiliation to seek the Lord for his direction. 

But far across the seas, the old Preacher says, there lies a new world where men may 
live in freedom. It is, therefore, his thought that a band of volunteers might venture 
overseas to make a home for the others. One or two murmur at the dangers of the voy- 
age; others, more numerous, proclaim their trust in Robinson. 

At this moment there enters the mysterious figure of The Stranger. Robinson and the 
Pilgrims are amazed, for they know not this man. The Stranger bids Robinson to send 
his followers on the voyage without fear. Although they shall encounter perils, yet will 
they achieve their purpose if they are steadfast in faith. With these words The Stranger 
(iisappears as mysteriously as he came. 

The decision to go to .America is then taken and Robinson appoints Miles Standish one 
of the leaders. Again the Pilgrims pray for guidance in this new venture and the scene 
clo.«es with Robinson leading off his flock.

An open space along the fringes of the great forest on the banks of the Connecticut. 
Slowly a cloud of mist rolls over the foregrounds. Above, the trees tower up. The 
Breeze comes and gently blows the mist away. Some Indian hunters pass in search of 
game. 

A Pine Tree rebukes the Oak and Maple for permitting mortals easily to pass through 
the wilderness. The Oak replies that it is not from these mortals — the Indian hunters — 
that the trees have anything to fear, but the Breeze has brought news of another race of 
white men who use whole forests in the building of their towns. 

Alarmed by these tidings, the Pine Tree calls upon Storm, Frost, and Snow to come to 
the aid of the wilderness against the white men. These .spirits all pledge their aid, will- 
ing to unite against the common enemy. 

The Stranger, however, appears and it seems he can speak the language of the trees. 
He tells the trees that their efforts will be in vain, for the white men have come to found 
a kingdom greater than any the wilderness knows. The Stranger vanishes, leaving the 
trees murmuring among themselves. 

The scene ends with a band of Indians coming into the forest to make a camp. A 
Puritan preacher, bearing in his hands the Bible, comes among the Indians and is well 
received bv them. Thus the trees of the forest see for the first time a white man.

The Indian chieftain, Pampunkshat, laments to the Princess Minouasques the encroach- 
ment of the white men upon the hunting grounds. He is debating whether to sell the 
lands, as the white men wish, or to make war upon the intruders. The Princess counsels 
peace, because she recognizes that resistance to the weapons of the white men is useless. 
Reluctantly Pampunkshat consents to sell. 

A runner announces the coming of Major Pynchon and the settlers. The latter enter 
and Major Pynchon reads the terms of the treaty by which the land is to be bought. 
Contemptuous of the white men's bargaining, Pampunkshat accepts the offered thirty 
pounds in gold, and after signing a mark to the document, smokes the pipe of peace with 
Major Pynchon. The Indians then depart in sadness. 

The Major and his settlers thereupon begin to apportion the lands and to lay out the 
limits of the town. The Stranger appears to warn the settlers that only by labor and 
courage will they be able to achieve their task. Major Pynchon is surprised at the com- 
ing of this unknown and takes him for some itinerant preacher carrying the Gospel of the 
Indians. When The Stranger has gone, Major Pynchon leads in prayer and asks a bless- 
ing on the town his followers have come to found in the wilderness.

upon the Rhode Island plantations. Harmon, however, does not believe that the Indian 
chieftain, Kinfi Phillip, will come as far as Suffield, for the settlers have always lived on 
good terms with the Indians in this vicinity. Harmon, nevertheless, feels it is his duty to 
report what he has heard to Major Pynchon. 

The latter decides to take such steps as are possible to put the little settlement in a 
state of defence. The Medicine Man of the Indians now comes in and calls upon the 
spirits of the Wilderness, Storm, Frost, Snow, and the Forest Trees, to aid the red men in 
their work of destruction. In vain The Stranger warns the Medicine Man that the white 
men will conquer the spirits of barbarism. 

A youth, escaping from the pursuing Indians, staggers in and falls at Major Pynchon 's

The action of this interlude is in pantomime. It foreshadows, symbolically, the cause 
of the Revolutionary War. 

A Colonist, his wife, and child, are supposedly sitting [>eacefully by their hearthstone. 
There comes to them a Tax Collector, with the demand for the payment of an unjust 
tax. The Colonist refuses, in spite of the Collector's threats. 

The latter goes, only to return with Tyranny and a company of Red Coats. Again 
the Colonist refuses the demand for the tax, whereupon Tyranny commands the Red 
Coats to seize the Colonist and bind him. The Stranger is, however, a witness to the 
scene. He rushes out and summons the host of Embattled Farmers. They, with their 
flint-locks, drive away Tyranny and his Red Coats, and set the Colonist free. The scene 
ends to the strains of '"Yankee Doodle."

A peddler appears in Suffield with a stock of cheap trinkets. When he proclaims his 
wares as imported English goods, the women refuse to buy. Nothing abashed, the ped- 
dler confesses they are all Connecticut made and that his description had been added as a 
trick of the trade. He likewise offers a patent medicine, the formula of an old alchemist, 
and he is more successful in selling this. 

Benjamin Franklin, with his surveying party, happens along and rebukes the peddler 
as a mountebank. Frankhn informs the women that temperate living is the best medi- 
cine. They offer him refreshments, which he gladly accepts. 

The Stranger enters and falls into conversation with Franklin. They discuss the grow- 
ing difficulties with the mother country and Franklin points out that the opprcsion of the 
colonies is caused by the political stupidity of the English government and not by the 
English people. He fears, however, that if the politicians do not learn common sense 
that war will come. Both agree that hateful as war is, it is sometimes the only way in 
which men can secure justice for themselves. 

The scene closes with Franklin continuing his survey further down the road.

The First Townsman is discussing with his Neighbor, the closing of the port of Bos-

Suftield has secretly raised. It seems that there are but few Tories in town, the air of 
the place not being favorable for their political comple.xions. 

Mistress Margery, a patriotic lady, presents Captain Kent with a New England Pine 
Tree flag. There is, however, one Tory present who is a witness of this ceremony. He 
upbraids Captain Kent as a rebel and traitor. Kent replies that "resistance to tyranny is 
obedience to God," and while placing the Tory under arrest, protects him from the vio- 
lence of the townsmen who regard a rope as the best answer to the Tory's arguments. 

After the Tory has been led away, several townsfolk offer Kent their savings as con- 
tributions to the cause. At this point a horseman rides in upon a spent horse, with the

The First Selectman is worried over his address of welcome which he must deliver upon 
the arrival of General Washington. The Second Selectman wishes a reference included 
to the heavy taxes which the War of Independence has laid upon the people. He is told 
that in a time of victory everyone should rejoice and keep the worry over taxes for later 
consideration. The Schoolmaster is eager to add some figures of speech to the Selectman's 
address — say a comparison of General Washington to an eagle, and the States to 
Phoenixes new risen from the ashes of war. The Selectman suggests that the Schoolmas- 
ter make \\hatever additions he considers appropriate, provided he does not use words that 
are too long. The Parson likewise desires to insert an appropriate text. The Selectman's 
wife adds to his troubles by a desire to present General Washington with a bouquet of 
flowers. The Schoolmaster agrees that this may be done, since the chariots of the Roman 
emperors were decked with flowers on the days of their triumphs. 

The speech is finally settled when General Washington and his staff arrive. The young 
girls throw rose petals in his path and all Suffield turns out to welcome him with flags 
and garlands. 

The Selectman delivers his speech, to which Washington makes generous reply, pointing 
out the noble part the town of Suffield has borne in the struggle for independence. 

The scene concludes with the departure of Washington after a country dance and gen- 
eral merry-making have been held in his honor.

the injustice which compels a race to live in bondage. The Stranger goes, having planted

The Townsmen are discussing the crisis confronting the country. All New England is 
busy helping runaway slaves to escape via what was known as "the underground railway" 
—a secret organization for hiding fugitives. The crisis has become acute by the demand 
of South Carolina that Major Anderson evacuate Fort Sumter. One townsman is of the 
opinion that to surrender Fort Sumter is the only way to avoid civil war. According to 
him, the surrender would appease the anger of the South and the whole question at issue 
could then be settled by compromise. The others do not agree with him. The question 
of secession cannot be argued. The Union must be preserved at all costs. A compromise 
which involves hauling down the flag from Fort Sumter is not worth having. 

From the telegraph offices comes the news of the attack on Sumter and of Major 
Anderson's heroic resistance. Suffield is in an uproar of patriotic fervor. An admiring 
citizen sings a famous song in honor of Major Anderson. Even the townsman who ad- 
vocated surrender is converted. The scene closes to the singing of "John Brown's Body."

It is a few weeks after the firing on Fort Sumter. The townsmen are rejoicing over 
the heroic resistance made by Major Anderson. There is a discussion over the probable 
length of the war. Some believe it will be soon over; others are not so sure, for the 
South is stubborn and well-trained in the use of arms. In the midst of their talk, the 
President's call for volunteers arrives, and is read out to the townsfolk by one of the citi- 
zens. At its conclusion, the First Townsman opens a recruiting office, and the young 
men of Suffield, amid cheers, flock to enlist. A Veteran of the Mexican War volunteers as 
drill-master and endeavors to instruct the young men in the rudiments of military forma- 
tions. The townsfolk all join in singing "The Star Spangled Banner."

]\Iany weary months of war have passed and the first enthusiasm has been somewlial 
dimmed. The Union losses have been heavy and no apparent progress has been made in 
putting down the Confederacy. The First Old Man meets his neighbor, Mrs. Harper, 
and asks if she has any news of her son. She replies that all she knows is that the War 
[department has reported him a prisoner at .^ndersonvilie — wounded. 

The Second Old Man is war weary and discouraged. After Chancellorsville. he be- 
lieves the North should have made peace. What is the use of carrying on the struggle 
any longer? Mrs. Harper and the First Old Man sharply rebuke him. He talks, they 
say, like a Copperhead. In spite of the draft, in spite of all the losses, the war must go 
on. There can be no turning back now. And then comes a newsboy crying an "extra." 
Eagerly the paper is bought and in it is found the news of Gettysburg. This is almost 
immediately followed by word of Grant's capture of Vicksburg. The tide has turned 
and the Confederacy is doomed. In joy and relief the townsfolk sing "The Battle Hymn 
of the Republic."

The same old men are eagerly discussing the news of Lee's surrender at Appomatox. 
The war is over, for the remaining Confederate forces in the field hardly count. Mrs. 
Harper passes, leaning on the arm of her wounded boy, Ezra, now returned to her. Ezra 
tells of his joy at getting home. He is going to settle down on a farm and raise some 
tobacco. 

Their joy is increased by the return of the Suffield men who have been fighting four 
long years in the Army of the Potomac. The troops enter singing "When Johnny Comes 
Marching Home." The townsfolk turn out to do them honor and deck the boys in blue 
with flowers. 

.\s the stage clears. The Stranger comes forward, alone, and says: "Suffield does not yet 
know that .Abraham Lincoln has been called to his Father's bosom."

OLD HOUSES OF SUFFIELD. 

SuftR'ld, CiMiiifctirut, October IJ, 1020. 

It occurred to your committee that in connection with our 250th anniversary, it would 
be interesting to restore as many as possible of our early residents to the homes they 
built so well, and with this in view, the historical committee have searched the land 
records, family traditions and Sheldon's history to the best of their ability with the re- 
sults which follow. Doubtless some mistakes have crept in, but the names of owners are 
correct, we think, and where there has been any uncertainty about a date, we have taken 
a later one. The numbers at the left are for reference only, and have no other si.Knit'i-

At a price with which none dare compete 
And once you've tried the A&P Brand 
That one henceforth you will demand.
